The tone of the poem is very somber and sorrowful because what he is seeing and experiencing is very tragic. Every line brings a new image of something negative going on, the true deep horrific depths of the civil war. The author faces these things as if they were normal for him, for it's been going on for so long with no change it has become the normal scenery for him to wake up too. This is shown in somewhat vague and familiar language that is used without the story that helps readers to develop a sense of normality with his statements and saying through his poem, as if it is nothing new. The tone does change by the end as he witnesses a young man who is very stunning and who catches his eye in which brightens the mood allowing readers to experience the joy he feels in that moment. Finally, this poem is very straightforward with no irony used or seen within the poem.

The author of this poem doesn't use many connotative words, but with the lesser use of these words they bring more meaning. In the first couple lines of the poem he uses the word “ample” to explain a blanket that was being used, this word helps us understand they have only enough, just enough for these people in distress, and it explains the scarcity of the situation. He uses other connotative words within the poem later on to help develop the ideas of his story,m used to describe this young boy he is seemingly attracted to and helps us to overall get a better picture of the situation. He does continuously use the same word or phrase throughout the poem, but with that it is easier and can convey a more unique distinct idea. One word I had to search up was ample and with that understanding it really helped me to understand that portion of the story and what the writer was trying to imply.

Through this example of Walt Whitman's poetry, it shows his experiences of the civil war in which he experienced fully and of which gives inspiration for most of his poems.

In the poem "A sight in Camp in the Daybreak Grey and Dim," written by Walt Whitman, he alludes to the death of Christ towards the end. He writes, "I think this face is the face of the Christ himself, dead and divine and brother of all, and here again he lies." Considering the fact that the poem is quite tragic, it helps relate to the idea of both Christ's crucifixion and the war that they are currently fighting. Moving on, the author also uses the lit term known as metaphor in the line "who are you sweet boy with cheeks yet blooming." Regardless of the fact that the world is in a state of misery at the moment, the author compares the boys cheeks to that of a beautiful flower. This displays the message that even when life gets difficult, there is still good, you just have to look for it.

After reading the poem, it becomes evident that the theme of the poem is patriotic and spiritual. As Whitman mentions, "I from the face of the nearest the first just lift the blanket." As he lifts the blanket, he discovers a young man, an old man, and the body of Christ. Seeing as how Christ gave his life for our race, it is in relation to the war that is currently occurring. By the utilization of the author's word choice, he manages to portray his sacrifices for his own country.

A SIGHT in camp in the daybreak gray and dim,

As from my tent I emerge so early sleepless,

As slow I walk in the cool fresh air the path near by the hospital
tent,

Three forms I see on stretchers lying, brought out there untended
lying,

Over each the blanket spread, ample brownish woolen blanket,

Gray and heavy blanket, folding, covering all.

Curious I halt and silent stand,

Then with light fingers I from the face of the nearest the first just
lift the blanket;

Who are you elderly man so gaunt and grim, with well-gray'd
hair, and flesh all sunken about the eyes?

Who are you my dear comrade?

Then to the second I step—and who are you my child and
darling?

Who are you sweet boy with cheeks yet blooming?

Then to the third—a face nor child nor old, very calm, as of
beautiful yellow-white ivory;

Young man I think I know you—I think this face is the face
of the Christ himself,

Dead and divine and brother of all, and here again he lies.
